AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS... PLEASE READ!  

________________________________________

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!


________________________________________

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -  Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.


This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn  the hose on near the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table
that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decided to go through the mail before I washed the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
Put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table,
And notice that the bin is full.

So, I decide to put the bills backon the table
and take out the rubbish first.
But then I think,
Since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the rubbish ,
I may as well pay the bills first anyway

I take my cheque book off the table,
And find that there is only one cheque left.

My extra cheques are in my desk in the study,
So I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke that I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques,
But first I need to push the Coke aside
So that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm,
so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head towards the kitchen with the Coke,
A vase of flowers on the counter
Catches my eye -- they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk.
But first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
that someone left  on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
and I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
But first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
and quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
Get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
Remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn't washed

The bills aren't paid

There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter

The flowers don't have enough water,

There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
And I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
And I'll try to get some help for it,
But first I'll check my e-mail.....


Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is not far off!!

Sometimes I think all my stress is caused by me not being able to stop thinking about something. I wish I could forget some things sometimes!

Nice one AM.  ;D We should get some researchers on the job to developing a cure.  Maybe they will find the answer is coffee.  :D
